The power generated from the project activity is sold on a merchant basis to state utilities in Southern, Western & Northern India. Key Highlights: - The CCPP project employs state-of-the-art technology. - The estimated project life is 20 years. - The power generated is sold on a merchant basis to the state utilities in Southern, Western & Northern India. This project is important for the following reasons: Natural gas is a cleaner and more efficient alternative to coal, which is the most commonly used fuel for power generation in India. This power plant reduces emissions of greenhouse gases, which contribute to climate change, and helps to improve air quality in the region. Additionally, the power generated is sold to state utilities, which helps to increase the availability of electricity and support economic growth in the region.
